    I see that Bit Trip Saga is now available digitally in the eshop. Probably cheaper on cartridge, but it's a perfect digital game. €19.99. Tons of content, so it's great value.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,485 ✭✭✭✭Banjo


    I can't recommend it on cart. This is one of those games you'll want to be able to fire up when you're in the mood, but not necessarily plow hours into on successive days. As such, it doesn't suit cartridge unless you carry lots of games on the go.

    Costs about €7 on cart though... Tough decision :)

    Great games though. Hypnotic, clever and very addictive


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 55,548 ✭✭✭✭Mr E


    Bit Trip Runner alone makes it worth it for me. I had it on the Wii, but it's fantastic on portable.

    There are very few games that give me the shakes and break me out in a cold sweat, but this is one of them.

    Those F#$%ING ORANGE AND PURPLE BOUNCING CUBES!!! :)

    Just outta curiosity, is there a list of all apps/games currently free on Wii u and 3ds eshops? Think Wii u panorama view is free till the end of this month and Tank, Tank, Tank is free. Anything else apart from game demos?

    Going to get both Zelda's.

    Never played either of them so which one is more puzzle and which one is more action?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,835 ✭✭✭✭cloud493


    Both zeldas are an instant buy :D

    Finished them last year on an emulator, but damn it, I can't resist grabbing them for the 3DS. :)
    They're such good games.

    Majora next please.

    Nah, it doesn't matter. You'll get a code at the end of the first one no matter what order. Just input it before you start the 2nd.

    just checked now, They're up, with a new catagory for them and their sale price.

    Still haven't finished Links Awakening or Minish Cap. And there's Luigi's Mansion, Fire Emblem and Monster Hunter to finish... I can't really justify this... but I do have €11 credit.... Damn you Nintendo!

    Downloaded both of them around 2:30! :o

    Total pita having to turn off the firewall to let the 3DS function with the eShop. I've tried adding it's mac address to the list of trusted computers, tried creating a new firewall rule etc, nothing seems to work! Damn UPC


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,123 ✭✭✭✭Star Lord


    I never had any problem with it on my UPC connection... But then again, I don't use the modem firewall!

    I just finished Ages for probably the 4th time ever (I used to own the games). Total time 14 hours spent on the game. For €5 I can't recommend it enough. I only got 13.5 out of New Super Mario Bros 2

    I'm considering that but the price seems to be about double the digital price so I'm finding it hard to justify.

    Yeah its a bit of a pill to swallow, but the collector in me says it just might be worth owning this limited edition Ninty game that prob won't sell in huge numbers given the digital download alternative. This could be one of those things that goes up in value once the run is finished, & if its not, hell, it's another properly boxed Wii U game :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,123 ✭✭✭✭Star Lord


    Does the boxed one include the original game though? As I'd imagine it'd have to be playable without the existing content, as opposed to the DLC version.

    Nope, just contains the engine and whatever it needs to run!

    It's standalone in that it doesn't need NSMB to run, but it doesn't include NSMB either.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 33,733 ✭✭✭✭Myrddin


    I'd much rather they open up the Wii Virtual Console library to the Wii U. They just have it sitting there, a raft of great games which would be so cool to play on the Wii Pad, but the selection at the mo is paltry :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,485 ✭✭✭✭Banjo


    in case you're planning on picking up an Ubisoft (an oobi.. or a yoobi?) title in the eShop sale at the last second, make sure you have enough space to install it or you can't purchase - Assassin's Creed III needs a whopping 21GB. (though it says 17gb once you get past the purchase point)

    there are tables out there, such as this one : http://www.cubed3.com/news/17547/1/media-bionicle-maze-of-shadows.html

    Also, if you decide to use a USB key as a lifeboat for you demos and VC titles to make room for an install, take it out before you hit the eShop - it defaults to USB storage for installation and seems to ignore built-in space when evaluating installability.

    Making Nintendo mistakes so you don't have to since 1996

    ...Also, if you decide to use a USB key...

    Quick addition to your post Banjo:

    Better to NOT use a USB key/pen/stick/whatever-you-may-call-them, and use a full external hard disk. The USB keys are flash memory, and as such, tend to essentially have a finite number of read/write actions on them, using them to store/play from is a bad idea, as it'll burn the key out much faster than you'd expect.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,485 ✭✭✭✭Banjo


    I said Lifeboat! I had to frantically dump as many games as I could on to the USB key (8GB, but Monster Hunter, at a shade under 7GB, refused to go) so I could complete the transaction on ACIII- I intend to free up a hard drive for ACIII and put all the games from the key back on to the system memory. I should point out, the eShop says this offer is good till the 7th, but I had it in my head that it expired on the 4th, which is why I was panic-deleting.

    Begs the question - what magical solid state storage have they put inside the WiiU that doesn't burn out like billy-o if you're playing games off of it?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,716 ✭✭✭✭machiavellianme


    Where'd you pull normal retail price for AC3 as 69.99?
    Its 18.29 delivered from Zavvi and you can sell it on when you're done.

    So I heard that all games purchased on the original Wii were tied to the console itself.

    So with the usernames etc on Wii U I assume it's linked to your username like the 360 or ps3 am I right?

    I just dont want to buy games that I know are tied to the console incase for some reason the Wii U does fail.

    Would like to know I can bring forward my games to the next machine.

    Stuff on the Wii can be transferred to the Wii U.
    Purchases are still tied to the hardware, but it looks like it's heading in the right direction now with the NNID.

    ok so if I download something lets say Street Fighter 2 for arguements sake I should be able to transfer it in theory anyway to the next Nintendo console.

    Thats what I assume when I looked at the Nintendo Network thing, seemed to be the same as PS plus membership to me.
